2024 is here and we wanted to offer a FREE class that will help you to up-level your ability to RESET and Optimize the Nervous System– especially following trauma, overwhelm, or burnout.
Why is this important? Not only does our Nervous System give us the ability to move, breathe, think, and learn, it is responsible for how we interpret or adapt to our changing environment. With that in mind, you can how important it is that your nervous system is properly cared for, because then entirely new options for living become available to us!

During this class Dr. Dawn will teach a simple and gentle technique using your own touch and breath to sooth and reset the body. For those that are curious and eager to create a more energy-efficient and self-correcting nervous system, you will love the second half of the class! We’ll be offering a demonstration of our specialty spinal care– one of the most effective ways to reset and bring more resilience to your nervous system. Be the first to volunteer for the demo and you may even be able to experience the changes yourself!

Come and learn more of what is possible! We’ll also be extending the opportunity for a specially discounted Introduction to Care for those interested in experiencing the wonders of having more vibrance and a greater sense of well-being.

Book online now and secure your seat. You don’t want to miss this!

STEWARDSHIP DAY
Winter Planting Event

Help revitalize the campground at Cape Lookout State Park with Oregon State Parks and Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS. We are looking for volunteers to help us plant native vegetation in and around the campground. These plants will act as a barrier between campsites while providing beneficial services to wildlife and the ecosystem.

Lend a hand at digging, plantings, removing non-native vegetation in the restoration areas, and mulching around newly established plants.

If possible, we ask participants to provide their own:
work gloves
hand pruners
shovels (some will be provided by the park)
appropriate gear for the Oregon Coast in February
lunch
reusable water bottle
mug or thermos for hot beverages

Be prepared for dynamic, winter weather on the Oregon coast. This event is family-friendly. Participants are welcome to come for all or any portion of the day that works for their schedule.

This opportunity is an EXPLORE NATURE take-action event! Explore Nature Series events are hosted by a consortium of volunteer community and non-profit organizations, and are meaningful nature-based experiences that highlight the unique beauty of Tillamook County and the work being done to preserve and conserve the area’s natural resources and natural resource-based economy.

We understand everyone learns and experiences the outdoors differently and are open to working with anyone needing additional support. We will adjust the restoration duties to meet the needs of participants, however, we have limited capacity. Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your needs and/or find a way for you or your group to have fun participating in our events.

Questions: Info@netartsbaywebs.org

When: Tuesday February 6th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Courting the Inner Beloved: A Shamanic Breathwork Ceremony

As we approach Valentine’s Day, join other kindred spirits to walk between the worlds to court your inner Beloved.

Sunday, February 11, 2024, 2-6 PM, PST
St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church
36355 Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR

Full Registration: $88
Register: forms.gle/NiJVY7Unk8ngVsURA

As the days slowly grow longer and the spring appears just beyond our reach, we may find ourselves longing for something. The Beloved beckons to each of us alone: “Come. Come. Come to my arms and fall in love with yourself and all your world.”

What do you long for? What parts of you are longing to be held, to be comforted, to be integrated, to be healed, to be seen and heard? Who or what inspires your heart’s desire?

Shamanic Breathwork is a powerful practice for healing and transformation that uses circular breathing and chakra-attuned music to access non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Lynda “Chickpea” Chick, RN is a Certified Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator through Venus Rising Association for Transformation

Whether it’s about the history of seal hunting in the Bering Sea or the biography of a woman who accidentally triggered a gold rush in the Klondike, author Deb Vanasse’s stories explore Alaska as much as they document the people she writes about.
Vanasse will be the guest author at the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. The free event will be hybrid; her presentation will be presented in person and online, via the library’s website, www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The Warrenton, Oregon author spent 36 years in Alaska, where she co-founded 49 Writers, a statewide writing center offering creative writing workshops. Vanasse has written 25 books in various genres, including nonfiction, historical fiction and children’s books; most are focused on Alaska.
Her 2022 release, Roar of the Sea, was an Oregon State Book award finalist. It tells the story of the unlikely hero who fought pirates and national governments to save Alaskan fur seals from extinction.
In 2016, Vanasse published Wealth Woman, about Kate Carmack, a Tagish woman who was a key figure in the discovery that set off the Klondike gold rush.
Vanasse enjoys seeking out hidden histories, and she likes to keep readers turning pages with characters who aren’t easily forgotten.
When she isn’t buying books, drinking tea or walking her boxer dog at the beach, Vanasse also does freelance editorial work, helping authors pull together plots, develop characters, and fine-tune their voice and pacing.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Vanasse’s presentation is coordinated by the Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series Committee, which sponsors authors monthly from September through May. The committee also sponsors the Writers Read Celebration, where residents and visitors read works based on a local theme. This year, the celebration will be on March 22; the theme is “Beach Noir.”

In the realm of fine art, quilts have become increasingly recognized and celebrated for their artistic merit. Modern quilters, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as nature, architecture, and even abstract concepts, continue to push boundaries and challenge our perceptions of what quilting can be.

Be prepared to be captivated by the craftsmanship, creativity, and sheer beauty emanating from the quilts of Becky deVries-Wong, Ken Fox, Joshua Pickens, Laurie Caplan, Patti McGregor, and Chris Pavlock during our “Quilted Together” exhibition.

On View: Jan 19 – Feb 19th, 2024
Reception: Jan 19th from 4:30 to 6:30

DEMONSTRATION: Jan 19th, starting at 4:30pm, During the Opening Reception.

In the world of quilting there are a wide variety of techniques used to create the many styles. Becky, will be demonstrating a few of the hand techniques that have been used in vintage quilts and are gaining popularity again. She will have a few samples of each technique to view as well as showing you how they are created.

English Paper Piecing : Sometimes referred to asd EPP, is a form of quilt making that uses paper templates to wrap fabric around and hand sew into a mosaic style of design. It’s a great method for fussy cutting fabric and highlighting a motif or design from fabric.

Stamped Quilt Piecing: Rubber stamps to provide more precision to making your quilt templates. Rubber stamp templates have both a cutting and a sewing line for accuracy . Most sewn together by hand. Some do use machines to sew some together. Similar to EPP, but no paper needed.

Hand Applique : Applique is ornamental needlework in which pieces or patches of fabric are sewn onto a larger background fabric to create a picture or design. Creating motifs and designs from layers of fabric. There are many ways to produce applique by hand or machine depending on the desired effect.

Broderie Perse: Popular in the late 18th century it is French for Persian Embroidery. A technique where elements , such as flowers, birds, animals….are cut from fabric and applique onto another background.
